Merriam, U.S. Army, and Michael N. Schmitt A review of Israel’s sometimes controversial positions on targeting law within the law of armed conflict shows that they are generally reasonable and consistent with mainstream contemporary state practice. The New U.S. Maritime Strategy Another View from Outside . 34 Geoffrey Till The refreshed “Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower” raises a number of questions: What is this new “strategy,” whom is it for, what has changed, and how will other navies and their nations react? Connecting the Dots Capital Ships, the Littoral, Command of the Sea, and the World Order . 46 Robert C. Rubel The geopolitical competitors of the United States are seeking ways to nullify the American capabil- ity to influence and intervene that the aircraft carrier confers. Understanding the linkages helps us refine and enhance the debate about what to do. China’s Aircraft Carrier Program Drivers, Developments, Implications . 65 Andrew Scobell, Michael McMahon, and Cortez A. Cooper III China’s carrier program will not fundamentally transform the balance of military power in the western Pacific. But it does signal both China’s unmistakable intent to project military power beyond the nation’s “near seas” and its aspirations to become a global naval power. A General Review of the History of China’s Sea-Power Theory Development. 80 Zhang Wei Translated by Shazeda Ahmed Chinese sea power, writes an officer of the People’s Liberation Army Navy, must have Chinese characteristics and not follow the path that Western powers took to maritime hegemony. https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/nwc-review/vol68/iss4/1 6 NWC_Autumn2015Reivew.indb 1 8/13/15 3:51 PM 2 NAVAL WAR COLLEGE REVIEWNaval War College: Autumn 2015 Full Issue Fernando Oliveira’s Art of War at Sea (1555) A Pioneering Treatise on Naval Strategy. 94 Luis Nuno Sardinha Monteiro Although written more than 450 years ago, Art of War at Sea is a treatise that was ahead of its time, establishing in part the basis of modern naval strategy.
